About Taxandria marginata (Labill.) J.R.Wheeler & N.G.Marchant

Taxandria marginata is a shrub species that grows in the southwestern corner of Western Australia. This species was originally classified as Agonis marginata. In a 2007 taxonomic revision, J.R. Wheeler and N.G. Marchant reclassified it into the newly established genus Taxandria. The shrub typically reaches a height between 2 and 3 metres (7 to 10 feet). It produces white flowers from February through August. It grows around granite boulders and among rocky outcrops in coastal areas, and can thrive in skeletal sandy, loamy, or clay soils. This species is found along the south coast of Western Australia, within the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions.
